Steven Spielburg isn’t too hot on the film industry:
“Eventually going to be an implosion — or a big meltdown. There’s going to be an implosion where three or four or maybe even a half-dozen megabudget movies are going to go crashing into the ground, and that’s going to change the paradigm.”
I’d have to agree. The gamble on big pieces, spectacle, etc. has to backfire eventually – and the fallout will be fascinating.
Our own Serdar puts it simply: it’s not sustainable.

The politics and alliances are interesting. As a person who cut the cord (more tomorrow), seeing it from the outside is fascinating.

I’m starting to loose track of the amount of adaptions-of-anime going on in Japan.
Yamato? Check.
Gatchaman? Coming up.
Captain Harlock? Enjoy a badass trailer.
Patlabor? Coming.
I would like to make an interesting speculation.
You know how now and then I talk about live action anime adaptions here and elsewhere? About how Hollywood may someday adapt things? What it means for our careers?
What if we should ask not about American adaptions, but any adaptions?
